next month.

NEXT MONTH! I can say that now. It's February! Okay, more than likely... next month. I mean, technically speaking, I could have the baby April 1st but what are the odds of that? If I was going to be overdue, that's one day out of 13... that's a 8% chance. But you never know.

Our maternity photo shoot is this Saturday. Because I'm feeling so lazy, I'm just kind of like "meh" about the whole thing but I better perk up by the time Saturday comes because what if this is my last pregnancy EVAH? I know, I said I wanted like at least four kids or something but you come to realize how expensive they are... so we'll just have to stick with two for now and re-evaluate the situation in a couple years. Anyway, my point is... I hope to look like a glowing, joyous pregnant woman in these pictures since it could be my last impression of pregnancy. Kind of like wedding pictures... you want to look your most beautiful at such a special time in your life!

Anywho, I'm 33 weeks along now... things are going along nicely. Although I did wake up with a horrible sore spot on my right breast. It hurt so much that carrying Noah on my right hip was painful when he leaned against me. I shall put a warm compress on it tonight and pray that it's not nearly as sore tomorrow because I read a horror story about mastitis and the girl ended up needing reconstructive surgery on her breast and all this crazy stuff. I didn't even realize you could get mastitis without breastfeeding but... it's definitely possible.

So now that Noah's first set of molars is all the way through, he has been doing pretty good sleeping the past week or so. But it won't be long before that next set starts acting up! And he doesn't even have his incisors yet so I'm just waiting for those, too.

I listened to Rainbow Relaxation last night (it's like a hypnosis thing) and it was pretty amazing. I think I fell asleep rather quickly... like, I only got the first color of mist and I was out, hahaha. I really tried to focus. If this hypnosis stuff really works during labor, I will be thoroughly impressed. I'm just scared about the nurses trying to meddle with my pieces and parts while I'm trying to MEDITATE! So that is where I'm really counting on Matt to monitor their interaction and act like a barrier between me and them, lol. Not that they aren't great and I know they mean well but sometimes a girl just needs to have a baby in peace. It's a really hard mental workout that requires lots of concentration. Lots.

Oh, and I added like a crazy fun little poll section on the right sidebar just because I love to make clicky polls. It's a little weird but I couldn't resist. That poll widget was just calling to me. Multiple times.
